Media Selection Tips
• When using user-defined, non-standard size paper,
remember to select the appropriate paper type in your
printer driver.
• Heavily printed pages tend to curl and may not stack
correctly. They also tend to stain the back of the page
stacked over them, since they require longer to dry.
Remove these pages as soon as they are output from
the printer. Set them aside to dry singly before
handling them.

Sometimes printer problems are very simple to solve.
When you have a problem, make sure that:
• The power cord is plugged into the printer and an
electrical outlet.
• The electrical outlet is not turned off by any switch or

Alignment
Whenever you insert or replace a print cartridge, you
must always check the horizontal and vertical printing
alignment to guarantee optimum printing quality.
You can also perform cartridge alignment if print quality
is not satisfactory. For example: a solid black area prints
with some white spots within it, or a color has shifted
outside the designated area or has been superimposed
over another color area.
Cartridge alignment takes about three minutes and
requires at least two sheets of paper, one each for Test 1
and Test 2.
